The story will center around the massive port city of Talmaje. Like stated before Talmaje is the center of all trade, slavery, thievery and piracy of Surune. Talmaje is under Barillan Imperial rule currently but has been allowed to continue it's shady nature, but the imperial military is a constant presence on the streets. The city boasts a huge coliseum where gladitorial like games are played. The city may be under Imperial rule but is ran by the thief and assassin guilds. Some of the main guilds are The Chthons (an exclusive assassin's guild who's members take on snake personas), The Crimsonblades, The Horde (a druakkin guild). Can you make it in this cut-throat city of power, greed, lust and adventure

RACES OF SURUNE: (I AM ACCEPTING OTHER ORIGINAL OR VARIANT RACES BUT THEY MUST BE APPROVED BY ME FIRST WITH FULL DETAILS)1) Humans (Infali)

2) Fanthars- Tall and heavy oxen-like humanoids, males stand 6'2''-7ft. tall and weigh around 250+ lbs., females are usually slightly smaller. Male Fanthar's horns are kept sharp and are tattoed while fanthar females are rounded and adorned with rings and color bands. Fanthars are known for their hardwork, they are expert forgers, farmers, craftsmen and leatherworkers. Fanthar live in small villages lead by a council of elder fanthars. Fanthar families are large with extended family often living together, a usual fanthar woman will have 2 to 3 children in her lifetime. Fanthar's love food, family and Wutar (fanthari beer). Fanthar serve Olgrom and Ghanlaa (husband and wife dieties). They are a peaceful race but are great and fearless warriors when defending their homes and family. Though most Fanthar still live in Fantharhaa, the beautiful golden plains on the western border of Alund, fanthars have migrated to most human cities and work as craftsmen and such.

3) Druak'kin (druakkin)- much like dungeons and dragons kobold race. They are small and gangly with only the blue and white druakkin being of near human stature. Red druakkins are the cruelest of their kind and are highly resistant to heat and fire. Green druakkin can breathe water and are expert swimmers. Blue druakkin can leap high distances. Black druakkin are usually merchants and apothecaries, their fangs and claws are tipped with a neurotoxin that causes temporary paralyzation. white druakkin are the largest and bulkest and are highly immune to cold and ice. Other colors are rare and there are no known metallic druakkins. Druakkins are originally tribal and still live that way in their homelands. However Druakkins have fully submerged themselves in most human cities. Talmage, the largest trading city-state in Surune and the capital of piracy and slavery, they match the human population in numbers. Druakkin magic only exists to a select few shamans. Druakkins serve a large dragon pantheon.

4) Aellons- winged humanoids. Aellons are a mysterious race, once great numbers have dwindled over thousands of years of war. Aellons live in the highest mountains in tall multi-tiered cities above the clouds. Aellons vary in many colors and appearance but they have broad brillant colored wings while female aellons' wings more subdued. A fierce race very few Aellons associate themselves with other races. Aellon's have keen eyesight and are great archers. Aellons stand on 2 taloned feet, large birdlike eyes, and well toned bodies . Aellons are herbivores consuming no meat, though rumors spread they are bloodthirsty. Aellons love knowledge and have large libraries. Aellons serve the elemental goddess Avala.

5)Perhondi- dark skinned humanoid race almost identical to humans. perhondis are believed to have branched off from the human race some thousands of years ago. there are great differences however. perhondi are known for their large bright amber eyes. perhondi have a keener eyesight than humans being able to see 6 times better than humans in low light. they also are superior to average humans in strength, dexterity and constitution. Perhondi are Tachymetabolic, meaning they are at a constant high metabolic rate and therefore cannot stand long periods of time without food. Perhondi also produce strong pheromones towards a target of their choice. Perhondi mainly inhabit the equatorial region of Surune and the Startorn Isles.

6) Anakim (Giants)- very rare. The anakim used to be the most powerful and beautiful race. After the rise of human kind Anakim grew greedy and jealous of human beauty and enslaved mankind. Finally the human kingdoms united under King Danic over a thousand years ago and the Great Ash Wars ensued. Giants raided and destroyed many human cities but finally as a last stand at the great citadel Belas Nor (Tower of the Eagle) King Danic slew the anakim king Muryn. After their defeat, King Danic with the help of his friend the great wizard Arnacal sealed the remaining giants behind the Wall of Severance banishing them into the frigid northern Myrjuundal Glacier. Becoming adjusted to their new homeland they survived and numbers are finally growing, They have come to call their new land Tooresh. Anakim are massive standing around 15 to 18 foot tall. Many anakim are fair haired but red hair is also found most have bright blue eyes. Anakim are highly resistant to cold.
